🧴 Calgonit Hoof Care Hoof Bath Disinfectant: Ensuring Foot Health in Cattle and Small Ruminants
Calgonit Hoof Care is a concentrated hoof bath disinfectant designed to protect the foot health of cattle (and, with appropriate dilution, small ruminants) and prevent yield losses due to lameness. It offers a strong defense against infectious hoof diseases, particularly common in cattle, such as hoof rot (digital dermatitis), and is effective in killing bacteria and fungi. The concentrated formula, offered in a 24-liter package, provides economical and long-term use. Due to its concentration, it is generally recommended to mix 1 liter of product with 200 liters of water (at a 0.5% concentration) in hoof bath tanks.
How Does Calgonit Hoof Care Increase Productivity and Animal Welfare in Herd Management?
This concentrated disinfectant offers key advantages in hoof health management:
Reduction in Lameness and Pain: Hoof diseases cause severe lameness and foot pain in animals, negatively impacting feeding, reproduction, and overall mobility. Regular hoof bathing reduces the risk and severity of infection, allowing animals to walk more comfortably and healthily, which directly increases milk and meat yield.
Economical and Powerful Formulation: Thanks to the concentrated nature of the product, very low dilution rates are sufficient. For example, a usage rate of 0.5% means that every drop of the product has a concentrated effect and the 24-liter package lasts for a long time, thus reducing operating costs.
Versatile and Safe Use: Calgonit Hoof Care is formulated with hoof-friendly and skin-friendly components. Although the product is generally developed for cattle, it can be used in small ruminants (sheep and goats against hoof rot), but in this case, it is critical to use dilution rates according to or lower than the label recommendations with veterinary approval. Changing the solution in the hoof bath after every 150-200 animals is essential for maintaining hygiene.
Calgonit Hoof Care, with its concentrated formula, protective effect against infectious diseases, and herd productivity support, is a veterinarian-approved and reliable solution for healthy hooves in farm animals.
